Merry Christmas everyone! Today I’m happy to join my sweet friend Taheerah for her annual Advent Calendar Extravaganza 2017! 
Advent Calendar Extravaganza is -the- festive event of the season! This ‘hop with a twist’ was dreamed up by Taheerah Atchia and features surprise destinations each day! Joining in the fun with Taheerah are ONE HUNDRED special guests – each serving up some fantastic Christmas inspiration! Just like an Advent Calendar, you’ll never know where you’re going to be visiting next until you ‘open the door’!
And that’s not all! With 25 *amazing* sponsors taking part as guests as well, your crafty wish list is bound to get a boost with a chance to win a prize EVERY SINGLE DAY!!
Join in the fun every day at taheerah-atchia.com to see what special surprises await behind the door!
Today’s sponsor for the the extravaganza is Papertrey Ink so I showcased the beautiful Brushed Blooms set along with a sentiment from the Inspired: Jesus mini set.
I stamped the blooms using Mama Elephant pigment inks. It’s not overly Christmas-sy, but just enough to keep it simple so that the meaningful sentiment could take center stage.
It’s not a party without a prize – and with prizes every day there are several chances to win! Today’s prize is generously supplied by Papertrey Ink so you’ll definitely want to win! Simply leave a comment on this post – then head back to taheerah-atchia.com and leave a comment there too! You must leave a comment on Taheerah’s blog as well as mine in order to be eligible to win!

Kris in Alaska
December 25, 2017 at 10:29 pmI love that font! The sentiment reminds me of my husband’s Christmas poem for this year:
Love’s Revelation
They looked upon Him as He slept, a Child
Whose tiny shoulders bore no splintered trace
Of all the pain He’d carry in that cross,
Where sacrifice for sin would then erase
The debt that smothered every human heart.
Then, and only then, would Death depart—
The Hand that formed the world would close the grave;
Yet they who looked upon Him in the stall
Could never comprehend how Love would save.

What a perfect card to share on Christmas day. Thanks so much for sharing this idea with us and participating in Taheerah’s advent calendar!

December 31, 2017 at 12:01 amYou are right, it’s not overly Christmasy, but the sentiment says it all. Jesus is the reason for the season and I am so glad that a lot of stamp companies are doing Christian stamps. I am in love with all of them. I even have some along with sentiments. I love how the sentiment takes center stage and not the flower, which is colored nicely by the way. Would you mind if I tried to do this on one of my cards?
Thanks for showing us your unusual and pretty card and thanks for giving us the chance to win something. I love Papertray Ink!
